You just got to have the right people in your corner to be able to execute.
4:51
Yeah, I'd agree with Brendo and just add to it, like a lot of people are thinking that the best thing to do is wait at the moment.
4:57
But obviously we know that's not the right decision.
4:59
The best opportunity is get in.
5:02
You know, when there's a little bit of uncertainty, like the way I see the market right now is a bit of a coiled spring or like a bit of a floodgate.
5:09
Nothing, like to Luke's point, it's not even that they're even close to fixing, like the problems are just exacerbating and getting worse.
5:16
So when you've got that underlying pressure and for a moment in time, buyers are sitting and waiting.
9:30
throw it
17:14
Especially if you work with the right people, get the right understanding, right education, you scale a lot faster than how long it took me to do it.
17:20
Yep.
17:20
It's dangerous, man, because it's so easy for people to go out and just borrow that money.
17:24
For sure.
17:24
Like everyone's lending out bad debt, you know, like you can get the car, you can get the credit cards, you can rack up so much debt.
17:30
So easy.
17:32
But to a degree, this was part of our problem, you know, like I kind of pull now the principal place in as one of those things.
BrendoGUEST
19:10
and you're like, man,
7:14
But, but for everyone else who wants to keep investing, rent vesting to me is still extremely strong strategy.
7:18
Yeah.
7:19
Yeah.
7:19
Couldn't agree more, man.
7:20
It's a massive thing we get on the front end.
7:22
There's a lot of people asking about the rentvesting strategy and does it work for them? And it's exactly what you said, man.
7:28
If you're investing and you want to invest in it and the principal place, the debt, the increase on the cost of a mortgage versus the cost of renting in those areas, it's often significantly cheaper.
10:13
So I think it's really assessing, yeah, it boils down to the first sentence I said when you immediately asked me the question was, has a market topped out? Is it at the top of its cycle? Done, ready to be sold.
2:18
So approval is sitting around about 200,000 a year.
2:20
They're around 200 at the moment.
2:21
Yep.
2:23
When we look at the commencements, commencements start to drop off a little bit.
2:26
So in terms of recent numbers, quarter on quarter, or the last quarter anyway, March quarter, we were up at roughly 48,000.
2:34
And that looks okay.
2:37
But again, it's short of the 240 that we needed to do.

How do we do this?
